Re: Wheel bearings for a 1982 LWT - imperial or metric ?

It was late 1980 when axles changed.
You almost certainly want LM603049/LM603011 (1.7812x3.0625x0.7813 inch) also used number GHB197, you can look up the latter numbers.
NSN was LV6MT7 3110-99-805-3264. It is a common part.
These were used on both front and rear, axles (inner and outer bearings).

Re: battery housing

If you vehicle is a 2A 12 volt then you have the correct type (562928) it just needs cutting back and rewelding. The battery cover (clamp) is 236986

Lightweight landrover early series 2A

Early 2A seen on eBay seems a good honest vehicle, fairly unmolested, apart from the later diesel engine. A vehicle ripe for restoration.

Re: Another Lightweight on ebay

2617 0783 was Van General Service EW/Y FFR 3/4T 109 wb FFR RHD, so assume Electronic Warfare of some sort? Paint may be covering the EW/Y part.

Re: 36 FG 71 Total Rebuild

I assume you mean 346052 and 346053, on the tub not chassis, to save a lot typing. Have a look at the below.

Re: 45fl65

I think the Struck off census 26/9/93 date is wrong as 95100032A was sold at ADT Blackbushe 25 10 1990

Re: Another one with an interesting description

FWIW Here is my take on it. Paperwork states 26 GJ 97 which was contract WV111916 (item 1) for 60 RHD FFR vehicles (1625 0778) These were Larkspur fitted only. The bodywork and wings clearly show It has been Larkspur FFR fitted which ties in with the contract, also it has been modified for Clansman ...

Re: 31FK20

Do not buy those footwells they are the wrong type! Do a search instead on eBay for "Land Rover Lightweight footwells" there are a few different sellers. One strange thing your vehicle has been fitted with early wings and headlight panel (and rad) It should have the headlights in the wings...

Re: Coil Mounting Bracket 1968 2A GS

Yes it should be fitted, this was a standard fitting on most later military LRs, the main reason though is to mount the filter unit on a FFR (along with the very handy bracket for the choke cable support clip). The part number is 568690. They were fitted on both GS and FFR vehicles.

Re: 236 v 237 Engines

237 engines were FFR and 8.1 but were intended to be used on two Rover 1 FFR contracts only. It should be remembered that engines were intended to be interchangeable (to a certain degree) between Rovers 1, 10 and 11. Indeed the part number for the above engine, is also listed for various Rover 11 co...
